tacn proposal must oe signeu oy uie inuiviuuai
or firm making it, and must specify a price, and but
one price, for each and every article contained in the
schedule. Should any articles be required not
enumerated, they are to be furnished at the lowest
market prices, according to quality. Blank forms
for proposals will be furnished at the Department
to persons applying for them; and as without uniformity
therein the Department would find it difficult
to make a decision, none will be taken into consideration
unless substantially agreeing therewith.
The printing must be executed with new and
perfect type, and on the best paper used for the different
descriptions required. The paper for the
printing will be furnished by the contractor ; the
Department, or the office ordering it, to designate
the kind of paper and type, wneuier script or
otherwise, ana the number to go on a sheet, when
the matter or article will admit of more than one.
Each class will be bid for and decided upon separately,
and all other things being equal, it will be
assigned to the lowest bidder. Where more than
one class is assigned to a bidder, they may all be
embraced in one contract; and each bidder, who
may have one or more classes assigned to him, shall
take all such classes, or forfeit his right to any portion
of the contract.
All the articles to be furnished and work to be
executed must be of the best quality, and delivered
without delay when ordered, and to the satisfaction
of the head of the office for which they are required.
The Department reserves to itself the right of
ordering a greater or lean quantity of each and every
article contracted for, as the public service may require.
Bonds, with approved security, to be given by
the person or persons contracting; and in case of a
failure to supply the articles, or to perform the
work, the contractor and lus sureties shall be liable
for the forfeiture specified in such bond, as liquidated
damages.
The subjoined lists specify, as nearly as now can
be done, the amount, quality, and description of
each of the kinds of articles and work that will l?e
wanted.
It being impracticable to give a precise description
of the nature and quality of the various
kinas of printing, bidders arc referred to the samples
in the different offices for specimens of the general
descriptions required.
